The more I see of these figures online, the less I want to buy them.

Especially since DC Collectibles and Kotobukiya are making such quality New 52 figures. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was holding the New 52 DCC and Mattel Batman figures side-by-side. Roughly the same price, but Mattel was so lazy in Batman's sculpt and paint apps. The major issues: leaving Batman's inner cape grey instead of black; using a dull black paint instead of gloss black for his cape and cowl; and lackluster head and belt sculpts. Simple touches that made all the world in the DCC figure.
The rest of Mattel's DC figure line up do not seem any better. I actually would have been o.k. with Mattel's price increase if they kept the quality up. There are plenty of companies making great DC 6" figures now, so I'll just buy those.
